RAILROAD REGULATIONS.

The legislative session is nearly ended
and the railroads are not regulated
yet. Reformers who went to Austin
chock full of ideas which they intended
to put into practical shape, with a view
of regulating the railroads, haven't Sue
Ceeded in getting in their work. They
have all the ideas yet, no doubt, but the
laws relating to railway traffic snd opera
tions are unchanged. Senator Upshaw's
railroad commission bill has been laid 10
rest and it is very doubtful if it will be
called up again. 1t is very doubtful, in
fact, if the Legislature will pass any bill
providing for a railroad commission.
After all 1t is perhaps just as well
that such should be the result.
There is plenty OF law for deal
ing with and controlling the roads
if said laws are only enforced. And be-
sides, there is the Reagan-CIllom meas
ure, which is nearly ready to 60 into
effect and about which there is such a
difference Of opinion. The PROJECTS are
that until the provisions of that bill are
fully understood and defined the country
will have enough worry and turmoil over
railroad rates and methods without hRv-
ing to grapple with an additional problem
in the shape of a special state law which
would erect railroad commission with
power to deal with the roads. Let US be
content with the inter state commerce
bill and the laws (state) already in ex-
istenCe and wait at least couple of
years before attempting anything else in
the way of regulation. We think public
opinion and existing laws can held the
roads down two years yet, at least to the
extent of protecting the public as much
as 1t ought to ask or expect, In fact it is
to be doubted if the proposed legislation
would have bettered matters to any ap-
preciable extent, or protected the general
public any more against the roads than is
the case now.

OSE argument against the state geolo-
gist bill was that he would analyze the
clays of the state, and that an analysis OF
clays would not help men to raise pota-
toes! The orator who made this states
manlike appeal presumed on the igno-
rance of his hearers and won his
case. Now the fact is, that Texas can
not raise potatoes for export, and does
not raise enough for home consumption,
but geological survey would locate de-
posts of kaolin CLAY that could be sent
out to the world in exchange for the
worlds money. The United States
would have expended three dollars on
this geological survey for every one dol
lar spent by Tex,s, and the defeat of the
bill was the triumph of prejudice and fg-
norance. The consolation remains that
such triumphs are always temporary.

WHENEVER 1t becomes known that Texas
newspaper has by its ability and enterprise &C
cumulated little money, It seems that some one
lie sure to be the lookout to nail 1t for libel
suit Under the present diabolcal libel law a
newspaper with any Rpunk at all hiss to be on
It's guard all the time to keep from walking into
this libel businese.-[ Weimar Gtmlet.
e 1t is feature of the present libel suit
industry in Texas that only newspapers
supposed to be able to pay are harassed
by the two-bit plaintiffs. A newspaper
without money or reputation can say
what it chooses, but if journal reputed
to be rich happens to say in news item
that man steals money instead of mis-
appropriating it, the misappropria-
ter of moneys estimates the damage
to his characters at tens of thou
sands of dollars, and reputable law
yers are found who will for miserable
little fee undertake to convince jury of
honest men that misappropriating money
is not stealing in the eyes Of that awful
law.

THE editor of the Western Building
Association Journal at ST. Louis is labor
ing with great energy to direct public
thought to the benefcent influence and
results of the building association. He
says: 81 think that in the building asso-
citation and similar cooperative schemes
may be found a solution of the labor Ques-
ton. But hitherto the working man has
had to work out the problem unaided by
his rich brother. | think something may
be done to persuade mopeyed people,
manufacturers and all who employ labor,
and especially the leaders of opinion, that
the labor question and it's overcoming
outbreaks, with mountaineering and muir
der as accessories, car best be dealt
with in spirit of brotherly cooperation;
that the workingman wants practical en-
couragement OF the golden rule order. and
that it Is the Christian duty of the better
instructed rich to give it to him; that
prevention is better than cure,' and
that it is cheaper to lend him hand
to get him home and make contented
householder of him, and anchor him fast
to good citizenship, than it is to wait
until he breaks out into lawIessness, and
taxes society with the expense of shoot
ing and hanging him."

There is some demand for cattle but the

Mr.. PowDERLY's latest decision, that
the Knights of Labor organization is not
to be used for political purposes, is in
keeping with previous declarations made
by him, and eminently wise and patriotic.
He was plucky, too, in selecting Chicago,
where the socialistic element seems to
have succeeded IN using the organization
rather freely at times, as the spot to
apply the corrective. A sensible man is

LEGISLATORS AND GEOLOGY

1t is really unfortunate that another
session of the Legislature is to go by
without provision being made for a geo
logical survey of Texas. The bill hat
was defeated by the House last week was
step in the right direction, and its adop-
ton would at least have put the move
ment on foot. There were some members
who discovered the usual ''cOnstitu-
tional" objections to such q measure, and
of course they voted against it. Then
there were others who for the life #
them couldn't imagine where the benefits
would come IN, and'they voted in the neg
ative. Mr.. Bell Of Cooke was frank
enough to admit he opposed the bill be
cause the newspapers favored it, and so
enough votes were mustered to defeat it,
which action will save the state few
thousand dollars. 1t is unfortunate, hnt
we suppose there is no use in bemoaning
The result or hoping the house viii
reconsider its action. The only
thing to be done is to waite paE
tiently for the coming of A Leg
islsture that will possess large degree
